LTE is the primer for the 3GPPs vision of a 4G mobile network solution. This builds on the aims of IMT Advanced and will provide service providers with the ability to accommodate the growth in mobile broadband traffic over the coming years. The course provides an end-to-end examination of LTE from the UE across the air interface and E-UTRAN to the EPC. As well as the architecture, protocols and procedures in the bearer network; services are also examined as well as how LTE will interwork with legacy 3GPP and non 3GPP access networks.
